submissions, or in person in the county where Customer is domiciled or at another mutually
agreed location. Customer agrees that any dispute resolution proceeding relating in any way to
the Software, including but not limited to its download, installation or use, shall be
conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative
action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, Customer agrees
to waive any right to a jury trial, and Customer agrees to bring any legal proceedings against
Harman or its employees, agents, licensors and suppliers exclusively in the federal or state
courts located in New York, New York, U.S.A., and Customer waives all defenses with respect to

including lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens.

obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Harman, except only to a
person or entity that accepts ownership and possession of Customer's respective Product and who
agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

by an authorized representative of Harman. This Agreement is the complete and final agreement
between Customer and Harman with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. To the extent

of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

illegal, the other provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
